Author Notes

The company’s strategy towards change is a good one. The organization is aimed at realizing its objectives and it has realized that that can only be achieved through shared objectives. For there to be shared objectives, there has to be transparency and honesty all of which are incorporated in the company’s organizational values. The company’s change strategies are aimed at ensuring the organization remains relevant in the current dynamic environment. the implementation process of the strategy change experienced some challenges but it is yet to be achieved (Avon.com, 2015).

The company’s vision is to be the company of choice for women resulting from the company’s understanding of the self-fulfillment needs of women and from the company’s quality products and services it offers to them. The company’s culture is one of trust, respect humility, integrity and faith. The culture of trust is seen from the companies value of trust in which there is transparency among the employees. The company is also aimed at giving tits customers support, offering the clients with high quality products and share success with the company’s stakeholders.

Basing on the changes recommended for the organization, the organization does not need to change its mission vision and culture. That is because the changes are in alignment with the objectives of the organization and with the vision and mission too. The need to change does not arise from a poor vision and mission but rather from the operational activities which are not in alignment with the objectives and mission of the organization. For instance, integrating the global functions means that the organizational objectives and the mission to serve families across the work are in alignment.

The leadership within the organization is not that effective. A more effective leadership within the organization would have spotted the talent management inefficiencies on time and the decline in the organizations profitability would have been checked on time. Andrea Jung’s leadership was however a more effective one. Together with his executive team they were able to identify the course of the decline in performance and laid down strategies which guarantee the improvement of the company’s performance (Dotlich, 2010).

Among the leaders was a talent management coach who was used to emphasize on the need for change. The management of the organization was coached by a highly qualified coach to develop the company’s talent practices. From the coaching, Avon’s management indeed saw the need for change (Effron, Greenslade & Salob, 2005).

The change recommended upholds transparency, simplicity, accountability and discipline (Effron, Greenslade & Salob, 2005). The organizational structure should therefore combine some elements of hierarchy structure and some elements of a flat and flexible structure. The organizational chart that would be appropriate would be one like the one below:

CEO

Mangers operational staff

The changes, if implemented the company will improve its efficiency and hence performance. The organizational structure of the organization which will be more transparent will enable rapid developments in the costs of production will be reduced and the objectives of the organization will effectively be met.

Your reflection in this portion of the project encompassed the vision, structure and goals of Avon Company. It was great that you highlighted how the teams within the company worked strategically to overcome obstacles encountered throughout the changes and growth. The organizational chart was extremely high level. What managers are there? What operational staff / divisions are part of the company? Are there upper management positions? Global or nationwide directors and consultants? The week 2 portion of the project and the textbook were not included. Please utilize the APA Project Template found in the classroom under both Getting Started and Week 2. In week 6, you will include all three portions of the project in one document. Two written pages were submitted which falls short of the required length (4 pages of new content) and depth of this portion of the project. The textbook is required but was not used as a resource to learn from. What are the exact mission and vision statements for Avon? Please expand on your analysis so that every speaking point is addressed fully. I encourage you to conduct further research and combine that new knowledge with what you are learning within the lesson in order to help your organization as its Organizational Development Practitioner.
